Bernie Kopel has played the
same character (Dr. Adam Bricker) in four different series: The Love
Boat (1977), Charlie's Angels (1976), Martin (1992) and Love Boat:
The Next Wave (1998).

Bernard Morton
"Bernie" Kopell (born June 21st, 1933) is an American
character actor known for his roles as Siegfried in Get Smart from
1965 to 1970 and as Dr. Adam Bricker ("Doc") in ABC's The
Love Boat from 1977 to 1986. It was his longest-running role and
remained on the series during its entire run, appearing in 250 episodes.

Before becoming known for
his The Love Boat role, Kopell appeared in many television series,
often sitcoms. He appeared on The Jack Benny Program, Green Acres,
Our Man Higgins, The Flying Nun, Ben Casey, My Favorite Martian,
Petticoat Junction, The Streets of San Francisco, Room 222, The Mary
Tyler Moore Show (where he met his future Love Boat star, Gavin
MacLeod. The two have remained lifelong friends.) and Kojak.

Kopell made memorable
recurring appearances as KAOS agent Siegfried in Get Smart,
Alan-a-Dale in When Things Were Rotten, Jerry Bauman in That Girl and
Louie Pallucci in The Doris Day Show. Kopell also played several
characters on Bewitched including the witches' apothecary and the
warlock Alonzo in "The Warlock in the Gray Flannel Suit". Known
for his talent with dialects, his first three years of his career
had him playing Latinos, including a three-month stint on "The
Brighter Day" as a Cuban heavy.

After The Love Boat, Kopell
was so recognizable that he was not in roles often without a nod to
his famous role. He appears as a coroner in "Which Prue is it
Anyway", an episode of Charmed. Kopell appears in the Monk
episode "Mr. Monk and the Critic", playing Mr. Gilson, the
restroom attendant. Kopell guest starred in "Pinky", a 2009
episode of My Name is Earl. He makes a cameo as a patient in the
Scrubs episode "My Friend the Doctor", as well as an
episode of the Disney Channel Original Series The Suite Life of Zack
& Cody.

In
a dream sequence of Fresh Prince of Bel (right) Air Kopell made a
parody cameo of himself as an actor who played a ship's doctor so
many times he offers to perform an operation for real. On a 1994
episode of Saturday Night Live he appeared as "Doc" during
a Love Boat-themed spoof of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

In the 1995 Fox Network Get
Smart Again series, Max's son (played by Andy Dick) meets Siegfried's
daughter. When the young Smart tells how his dad always told him that
he was a greeting card salesman, Siegfried's daughter replies,
"My dad always had me believing he was a doctor on a cruise
ship." Kopell also made a cameo appearance in the 2008 film
adaptation of Get Smart (below).

Kopell's role as Doc on The
Love Boat was parodied in a humorous appearance on Late Show with
David Letterman in 1995. Two entries in that night's Top Ten List
poked fun at The Love Boat, and at the Doc character specifically.
The camera cut to Kopell, who was sitting in the audience, and he
stormed out of the theater. A few moments later, he was shown having
been reseated in the mezzanine when the second parody was made at his
expense, and again stood up, raised his fists and stormed out,
obviously in on the joke.

Kopell has played
his Love Boat character, Dr. Adam Bricker, in four different series
and in 1996 on the Martin TV series Kopell along with Lauren Tewes,
Ted Lange, and Jill Whelan reprised their roles.
